SMG music display

Hi all, I feel like it's time to start the beta for the user dashboards. There's still a long way to go, but this is a solid start for you all to try it out. This thread will contain the instructions on how to set this all up!

@JakGrant Yeah, I forgot a small thing in the config. It's back up now :) I'm going to send a newsletter this week.

@SMGMusicDisplay All good. Thought the whole thing had just gone, but this is what I got when going to the site on seeing your Tweet:

Hi everyone! It has been a very long time, and SMG has been riddled with major bugs for a while. I am working on a newsletter to explain what's going on. In short: I will be focusing my efforts on revitalizing SMG. Stay tuned :)

@JakGrant Oh, the site is down, that's not great! I migrated the web host, wasn't aware it went down after the migration. Most likely just a super simple DNS issue. I think I forgot to update something. But yes, I'm definitely working on fixing it. The issues are relatively small.

Oh it's being fixed. I didn't think it was being supported or worked on any more. I've been using it a lot since I found it 12 months ago. I do find a few bugs and glitches and did find for some reason it hasn't liked spotify for a while, and sometimes on closing, it forgets it's settings. Also doesn't like music player being switched around without quitting and restarting. But hope you can get it working and work with a lot of things again. I use it for Youtube, Epidemic, and Spotify in the past. Bot tried it with YT music and Spotify seems to disagree these days whether that's spotify website or app. PS. I also notied the website is gone?

@AsukaSeitou I have not been able to put in the time and work to keep SMG running, but I have the time and energy to revitalize the project now. A newsletter will follow very soon :)

@SMGMusicDisplay WHy does SMG do not exist in the Chrome store anymore? Updated my brwoser and now it's gone. 😱

I'm going to move away from Twitter. I'll remain active here until I find a suitable replacement. Work on SMG will continue as usual. Nothing changing there.

As previously reported, Soundtrack is being shut down on July 17th due to 'limited use from the Twitch Community'. Twitch now officially recommends @Pretzel_Rocks @NCSounds @chillhopdotcom + Outertone by @routenote. #TwitchNews #TOSgg

@Mrgregles I'll sponsor licenses for SMG, and will personally help with creating a custom layout for a music player widget if desired

Okay F**k it. I want to do a "Pimp My Stream" series! I would like a few streamers and a few sponsors to be involved! I would go to meet the streams, learn their setup dreams and make it a reality! It has been an idea I have wanted to work on for about 5 years! Who would be up for it????

I'm looking at bluesky and Mastodon as my first alternatives. Perhaps discord is the way to go? Let me know what your think as well :)

The past few days with the new algorithm are affecting me deeply. There are wrongs within this world that need to be seen and discussed, but all of them at the same time? It's too much for me.

@Jan11198 It can take a little while for the web player to connect, it's not instant like with the .txt file. But after 10 or at most 30 seconds it should definitely have connected. Does the widget work if you open it in Chrome or Firefox?

@SMGMusicDisplay I tried it with Spotify Web Player and Spotify Desktop Player

The beta release for SMG version 2.27 is here! smgmusicdisplay.com/download - Adds support for HTML widgets that can be used in your stream - Fixes a minimization bug (hopefully!) - Adds support for Media Monkey 5

@Jan11198 That should be ok. What music player are you using?

@SMGMusicDisplay I have the Version 2.29

@Jan11198 What SMG version do you have?

@SMGMusicDisplay The Widget doesn't work for me, It won't Update the Song. Above The current Song, the underone is the Widget

v2.29 is out because today is tomorrow! Download here: smgmusicdisplay.com/download

Spent the day improving stability for the new SMG release - Fixed crash when song title is not as expected (ie "Spotify Premium" rather than "song - artist" - Allow multiple widgets to connect to SMG - Improved widget connection stability V2.29 will be out tomorrow

@Sorumeiji Ah, nevermind. I found the issue. I will release an update tomorrow.

@Sorumeiji Can you send me the logs? I don't have the issue on version 2.28 myself :/

Released version 2.28, which -should- fix all the stability issues with version 2.27 Download here: smgmusicdisplay.com/download

@Sorumeiji Ah, thanks for the heads-up. I'll look into it

@TheDarkArgo Oh it’s 2.28 just didn’t update the text yet :p

@SMGMusicDisplay Website no likes me xD

@TheDarkArgo Hey, I just released the v2.28 installer. It should resolve all the issues with v2.27. Can you try again and let me know how it works for you? :)

@SMGMusicDisplay So I downloaded the beta, but I don't have the folder 'Widgets' in my installation directory (default location)
